DoubleByteCodeStrings not rendering

strings with double byte characters works wrong for example

local string1 = "abc"
local string2 = "эюя" --cyrillic
print(#string1) -- outputs 3
print(#string2) -- outputs 6
print(string2) -- outputs squares in console and the same gpu:setText

as temporary workaround i made transliteration function but its ugly

local f = false
function parse(text)
    local textBuffer = ""
    local charCodes = {c384 = "a",c385 = "b",c386 = "v",c387 = "g",c388 = "d",c389 = "e",c354 = "e",c390 = "zh",c391 = "z",c392 = "i",c393 = "yi",c394 = "k",c395 = "l",c396 = "m",c397 = "n",c398 = "o",c399 = "p",c337 = "r",c338 = "s",c339 = "t",c340 = "u",c341 = "f",c342 = "h",c343 = "c",c344 = "ch",c345 = "sh",c346 = "sch",c350 = "e",c351 = "yu",c352 = "ya",c353 = "B",c354 = "V",c355 = "G",c356 = "D",c357 = "E",c358 = "ZH",c359 = "Z",c360 = "I",c361 = "YI",c362 = "K",c363 = "L",c364 = "M",c365 = "N",c366 = "O",c367 = "P",c368 = "R",c369 = "S",c370 = "T",c371 = "U",c372 = "F",c373 = "H",c374 = "C",c375 = "CH",c376 = "SH",c377 = "SCH",c381 = "E",c382 = "YU",c383 = "YA",c348 = "ii",c379 = "II",c349 = "`",c380 = "`",c347 = "`",c378 = "`"}
    for i = 1, #text do
        if f == false then
            local bt = string.byte(text, i)
            if bt == 208 or bt == 209 then
                local char = charCodes["c"..string.byte(text, i) + string.byte(text, i + 1)]
